Fall Community Day

Join us for a special Community Day celebrating the launch of the Bata Shoe Museum’s upcoming exhibition, André Perugia: A Design Legend Unveiled. Admission is free, and all are welcome to take part in an afternoon of engaging activities and programs.

Explore the groundbreaking work of André Perugia, one of the 20th century’s most influential shoe designers—through guided exhibition tours, family-friendly crafts and games, and an exclusive presentation on the art of shoemaking by Adam Finn of Last Shoes. You’ll also have the chance to meet Adam in person to learn more about his craft.

Guests can step into the spotlight with a photobooth experience that puts you on the cover of a fashion magazine, and don’t miss your chance to grab a pack of limited-edition 30th Anniversary Collector Cards! A special card vending machine will also be on-site, with a guaranteed rare or ultra-rare card in every pull—perfect for collectors and fans alike.
